第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分） It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do fess well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It Look children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.
To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child’s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different socio-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.
At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socio-economic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the child’s development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.
The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus of parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome education unfairness.
1、What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program?
A．The large number of poor families.
B．The disapproval from children.
C．The late start of the program.
D．The long period of time.
2、What do we know about the “Missouri” program?
A．It focused on the children’s first school teachers.
B．It helped the children return to the same home.
C．It made the children improved in many aspects.
D．It gave the parents advice on their development.
3、According to the passage, what is likely to influence children s performance?
A．The number of family members.
B．The teacher-student relationship.
C．The intelligence of their parents.
D．The parent-child communication.
4、How does the author develop the passage?
A．By listing figures. B．By making comparisons.
C．Ry presenting ideas. D．By drawing conclusions.
22．（8分）The year 47 will be an eventful one for art. In May of that year in Berlin, the philosopher-artist Jonathon Keats’ “century cameras”— cameras with a 100-year-long exposure (曝光)time—will be brought back from hiding places around the city to have their results developed and exhibited. Six months after that, the Future Library in Oslo, Norway, will open its doors for the first time, presenting 100 books printed on the wood of trees planted in the distant past of 2017.
As Katie Paterson, the creator of the Future Library, puts it: “Future Library is an artwork for future generations.” These projects, more than a century in the making, are part of a new wave of slow art intended to push viewers and Participants to think beyond their own lifetimes. They aim to challenge today’s short-term thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately. In their way, too, they are fighting against modern culture—not just regarding money, but also the way in which artistic worth is measured by attention.
In a similar fashion, every April on Slow Art Day, visitors are encouraged to stare at five works of art for 10 minutes at a time—a tough task for the average museum visitor, who typically spends less than30seconds on each piece of art.
Like the Future Library, the century cameras are very much a project for cities, since it’s in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest. “Since I started living in a city, I’ve somehow been quite disconnected,” Anne Beate Hovind, the Future Library project manager who described how working on the library drew her back to the Pace of life she knew when she was growing up on a farm in her youth, told The Atlantic magazine.
1、According to the first paragraph, what will NOT happenin47?
A．A camera which was produced 100 years ago will be exhibited.
B．The Future Library will be0pen to the public for the first time.
C．Photos with a 100-year exposure time will be developed and exhibited.
D．Books printed on the wood of trees planted in 2017 will be displayed.
2、What can we learn about today’s people’s attitude toward works of art?
A．They consider works deliberately.
B．They spend little time on Works.
C．They spend much money 0n works.
D．They stare at works for 10 minutes at a time.
3、What is the purpose of the wave of slow art?
A．To advocate creating works of art slowly.
B．To protect works of art from being damaged.
C．To promote works of art for modern culture.
D．To encourage people to pay more attention to works of art.
4、How would Anne Beate Hovind feel about the city life?
A．It’s discouraging
B．It’s dull
C．Its developed.
D．It’s busy
23．（8分）Let me introduce myself: I am the last man in America who has time. If you should run into me on the street, I will have time to chat with you. If you invite me for tea, I will seize the opportunity and enjoy a cup. But it seems nobody else has time like me.
When did people become so busy? Sometimes I think it happened when shopping, instead of being a necessity or occasional pleasure, became a form of entertainment. At other times I blame it on the computer, with honorary mention given to “smart” phones, for creating appetites (欲望) that can never be satisfied, no matter how long we stare at the movable feast on the screen, no matter how fast we type with our fingers.
It wasn’t always like this.
Sundays used to be days of rest, with closed stores and empty highways. And then there were the holidays, which were set aside for family time rather than a trip to the mall.
But now, I have grown accustomed to the predictability of the answer when I run into a friend or acquaintance and ask, “How are you?” The answer always is “Busy!”
Recently I spotted an old friend and I called out to him. He stopped to acknowledge me, but I could tell from his, body language and the checking of his watch that I had disturbed him. “I see you’re in a hurry,” I said. “Why don’t we get together to catch up?”
“I should have a free hour in June,” he said before continuing on his way.
“But this is March!” I remarked.
“Check with me in a few months,” he yelled over his shoulder. “I’ m very busy!”
Maybe not getting used to the busy life is my problem, but I agree with what Socrates once said: “Beware (当心) the barrenness (空洞) of a busy life.” Or Robert Frost’s poem? “I Could Give All to Time.” More recently there has been a so-called Slow Movement, which advocates a cultural change toward slowing down life’s pace. I haven’t decided whether to join it or not because I fear that like any organization, it would cost me too much time.
In any case, come June. I'll have a friend to catch up with. That is, if he still has the time to see me.
1、The first paragraph of the text is used to______.
A．provide background information of the topic B．attract readers’ attention to the topic
C．show readers the value of time D．introduce the author to readers
2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A．Shopping. B．Pleasure.
C．The fact that people have so much to do. D．The fact that the author saves lots of time.
3、How does the author show people are very busy?
A．By making assumptions. B．By providing an example.
C．By listing well-known sayings. D．By presenting a predictable trend.
4、What can we infer from the text?
A．The author will be too busy to meet his friend in June.
B．The author is good at computers and smart phones
C．The author is willing to join the Slow Movement.
D．The author misses the lifestyle of the old days.
